The Chief Priests Concoct a Cover Story (Short Sketch)
The two guards at the tomb had now recovered from the shock of the angels and the earthquake. They went straight to the chief priests and told them what had happened. The priests called an emergency meeting with the elders to hatch a cover story.
Annas: This is a big problem! We have to be very careful now. Joseph – what are you grinning about?
Caiaphas: Yes, I’m surprised you look so happy – it’s your tomb that’s been broken into.
Joseph: Oh… Just something I heard.
Caiaphas: Well I suggest you forget it and get your mind round this problem. Before we know it there’ll be all sort of rumours about resurrection.
Joseph: Is that a problem?
Annas: Yes!
Caiaphas: Of course it is. If the word gets out that Jesus is on the loose we’ll never live this down.
Joseph: Is he on the loose then?
Annas: No!
Joseph: In that case we have nothing to fear.
